I'm so sick of asshat celebrities doing this trash

Celebrities get volunteer gigs like “UN Goodwill Ambassador,” and Stiller also supports and works with the UN refugee thingy. Bob Hope and Glenn Miller did USO. It’s a long tradition.

To the guy’s credit, Russia sends random missiles into Ukraine at random times. He took a risk.

'Sir, really nice to meet you. Thanks for taking the time. You're my hero,' Stiller told Zelensky as he approached him and shook his hand. The Hollywood star then complimented the President on his 'great acting career', to which Zelensky laughed, and replied: 'Not as great as you'

Because Ukraine is the modern Spanish Civil War. And like that war, Western celebrities used it as an opportunity to virtue signal and show they were on “the right side of history “.


Hopefully the good guys win this one too

Yup and Ben Stiller got famous for mocking Bono back in the mid 90's. He's come full circle.

Thank God the era of the movie stars is over.




The fading embers are Tom Cruise, Leo and a "not quite dead yet" Johnny Depp, but otherwise, I agree with you.

This is going to make a difference. Just wish that he had teamed up with Sean Penn for that photo op.

Always liked Ben Stiller. Not sure why he felt compelled to have this cringe-arse photo op taken and posted for publicity.


Because their little money laundering scheme in Ukraine is about to get busted open and they’re trying to get all the sympathy they can

This.

Just the other day was having a conversation with a buddy and Stiller came up.

I remarked that in the midst of all the virtue-signalling and stupidity, he was smart enough to remain quiet.

I’m not really hating on it but, I certainly don’t understand what Ben Stiller brings to the table in this situation.

Ukraine was and is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. We have no national interest at stake there. So much of our “motivation “ seems to be an almost childish need to fuk with Russia.
List this with Vietnam, Afghanistan and the other countries that cannot defend themselves and so somehow deserve our money and soldiers lives.
It’s all BS. And I don’t mean Ben Stiller.

Celebrities are so fricking out touch with reality. No wonder the democrats love them so much.
